Both Mercury and gallium, though liquid are metals.
Although selenium is a nonmetal, it not not naturally occuring in a metal looking form.
Fools gold is not an element, its a compound: Iron pyrite.
The correct family of answers is the metalloids, a set of elements that look like metals and behave like nonmetals.
The metalloids are:
* Boron (B)
* Silicon (Si)
* Germanium (Ge)
* Arsenic (As)
* Antimony (Sb)
* Tellurium (Te)
* Polonium (Po)

As you go down a group the elements become more metallic due to their increasing size, the amount of electrons that fill their shells and decreasing electronegativities. A good example is groups 15; Nitrogen is a non-metal, Phosphorous is borderline non-metal/metalloid, Antimony is a metalloid and bismuth is a metalloid/metal.
